Title: Swap of the old blue bitch to the blue and white
Post by: Mrg on Sunday, 10 March 2019, 06:28 AM
Well the project has started and the swap is getting there , and a new tidy tail to go with it as well , you will see in the pic that the two bikes before the swap are the old blue bitch and the new blue and white. But now the swap is in the middle of the transmission , and then I will sell the 02 plate this will be the blue one and I will keep the blue and white  so all good 😊

Yes val I might go to a black seat and the day time running lights are in blue and normal yellow for turning but I can go to white running lights so that's an option  so the seat was from the old blue , it might be to much  you think

Lovely bike mate. Awesome. Love the fork grey. Friendly criticism, just what i would change, seat to black, ditch the red bull cans from shocks, polish grab rail to match all your other shiny bits. Just my thoughts but being very piccy. Not at all being nasty, love your bike.

@Mrg

Very nice job BUT

From looking at the pictures you may have put the rear axle in the wrong way around - the nut does up on the sprocket side not the brake side. The pictures seem to show it on both sides, so not sure how it is finally setup.

Sorry.....
